Awesome! Thanks! Thats just the info I was looking for. Apparently it's an 85K car, if it's the headgasket then hopefully it would just be a matter or normal wear and tear and not cause someone beat it too badly, lol He's excited to have found a turbo Supra, but it wont be turned into a performance build, glad to know a composite can go on it so long as the deck is in good shape. Also I wanted to ask aren't these interference engines? Is there any special procedure for the timing belt? On the "Turbo-III" Chryslers the belt is so finnicky, a special tool is used to measure the hertz of the belt vibrating to properly tighten it. If he picks it up I might be assisiting him with the gasket, I dont want to jump in blind, lol Would you guys suggest the use of a head shim after the head is milled or would that be a bad idea? Thanks again for all the info I really appreciate it!
